Gear ratio change

[Agile1]

What lower gear ratio would you like for the Grenadier and why?

Transfer case 4-0 gears. The road going manners are fine, this isn’t a high volume wheeler so 37’s and up aren’t a buyer issue. Lower Diff gears that have a significant low range impact will just slop up what’s fine as is on road.

The transmission permits a full range of gears in the auto, so a lower 3-4 t case ratio would permit more crawl control without much penalty, in low.

I would agree. Some sort of selectable under drive would be best but that's a bigger job. Ashcroft crawler box is one of the most coveted Rover parts. I loved the crawler on my D90.

I use a marlin crawler 4.7 toybox in the 60. I think they quit making those. I wonder how the computers in this would even deal with something like that. Would it know? Would it toss a hissy fit?

If you are who I think you are, aren't you working on a 4:1 ratio?
